I wonder if anyone can share experience with Basik's Advance Seven tandem rig? According to what you can see here and read here it seems to have some nice bells'n'whistles and most of all, resembles a Strong rig. Just being curious. TA

We have two Seven tandem containers downhere in Brazil for 1 year now and all I can say is a very strong and reliable gear, Both containers have more than 1000 jumps each and we had only one malf. Very fast reserve deployment. Very comfortable rig as well, for pilot and passenger. safe jumps Gui D31713

We had one Advance tandem rig at our DZ and about 10 Parachute de France tandems. The Advance doesn't wear as well and was showing signs of wear and tear after 2 seasons whilst the PdF rigs just keep going.

I know of several in Switzerland (not Seven, the original version), mostly in the french speaking part.

Now that sounds interesting and even more if you could find one in the German-speaking part. Still 'member my winter holiday in Crans-Montana - me not speaking any French apart form "Merci" etc - and most of them neither speaking any German nor any English... Funniest thing: I'm going to Davos on Saturday (but won't have any chance - Missus would gimme "The Speech" if I dared to sneak into any skydive territory and apart from that, it's too freezing cold...) But why not go to Graubünden during my short Easter holiday, hmmm...

In reply to:

Maybe you can get Jerôme to have some demo stuff sent or a representative visiting you, as it also seems that Basik also now have their Tandem Main canopy

And yes, Jerôme and his crew do have a great service

Demo stuff, now that's a good idea. Maybe at a DZ that attracts some more interested folks. Well, they ought to provide cross training (parts, EPs, packing, test jump) since almost everybody here "only" holds a Vector-style rating... But heck, good idea.
